<p>Crow asked Gagosian about how the Euro crisis was affecting contemporary art sales in Europe, and he was upbeat, even about his gallery in Athens.</p>
<p>He said:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It's almost become a badge of honor that we have a gallery in Greece. We keep the price points in Athens lower&mdash;under $1 million&mdash;and we maintain relationships with collectors there who want to sell things. It's our smallest gallery, but I'm going to keep it.</p>
<p>Gagosian was also optimistic about contemporary art sales in emerging markets like Hong Kong, where he's looking for a larger space, and Rio de Janeiro, where his gallery hit a "home run" at a recent art fair.</p>
<p>There's just one emerging market he won't touch: India.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Gagosian explained:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">We have some Indian collectors who buy from us in London, but we're not really selling to collectors in India. Maybe we're not approaching it the right way, or maybe we don't have the relationships. Usually when the business is there and the appetite for collecting is there, it trickles up. It's not happening yet. India remains focused on its local art, and its museums aren't showing international art often enough.</p>

<p>Gagosian, whose East Hampton mansion suffered damage after a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-cohen-larry-gagosian-art-dealer-bestie-has-fire-at-east-hampton-home-2011-6">fire this summer</a> (not to worry, none of his valuable art was damaged) has his work cut out for him on the townhouse--it's in need of a renovation that could cost millions of dollars.</p>
<p>The seller, former <a class="hidden_link" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/blackboard/goldman-sachs">Goldman Sachs</a> partner <strong>J. Christopher Flowers</strong>, who now heads up his own private equity firm, isn't selling for the cash; he's in the midst of an ugly divorce that has been dragging on for years, NYP reports.</p>
<p>Flowers set a record when he spent $53 million on the 75th Street mansion five years ago, and that record still stands today.</p>

<p>Gagosian is a regular presence in the New York social pages, and is often <a href="http://bfanyc.com/home/event/514?page=9">snapped in pictures alongside</a> his friend and client, SAC Capital chief Steve Cohen.</p>
<p>In fact <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-cohen-will-ferrell-dasha-zhukova-larry-gagosian-tina-brown-art-basel-credit-suiss-dinner-2011-6">the pair were spotted last week at Art Basel</a>, at a Credit Suisse-hosted dinner in honor of of Swiss-American artist.</p>
<p>Gagosian is still overseas, luckily.</p>
<p>On Tuesday night a massive fire triggered by someone soldering (doing repair work) in the kitchen, which required 50 firefighters at the scene, "ripped through [his] Hamptons mansion... threatening countless priceless artworks," according to the <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/gagosian_art_survives_blaze_g4ty6zUkYUHwcbJUq4TXTK">New York Post</a>.</p>
<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/4e0c7a6fccd1d5a55c120000/firefighter-gagosian.jpg" border="0" alt="firefighter gagosian" />"Firefighters said Gagosian's caretaker rescued two of his most valuable pieces by running out with them after the blaze started around 9 p.m. Amagansett Fire Chief Mark Burnett said works from the dealer's legendary collection suffered no fire or water damage."</p>
<p>A miracle!</p>
<p>One firefighter told the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/gagosian_art_survives_blaze_g4ty6zUkYUHwcbJUq4TXTK">Post</a> that they'd managed to save a TV, too: "It was the biggest one I've ever seen."</p>
<p>Gagosian's home is on Further Lane -- a stretch famed for its mansions and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Hampton_%28town%29,_New_York">high-net worth residents.</a></p>
<p>Apparently because Gagosian's home has "a long, winding driveway... it [was] a little harder to navigate with the fire apparatus. A gate at the front of the property slowed first responders down because they needed a gate code," <a href="http://easthampton.patch.com/articles/fire-damages-art-dealers-amagansett-house">Patch East Hampton</a> reported.</p>
<p>Gagosian's personal art collection <a href="http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/37996/blaze-breaks-out-at-megadealer-larry-gagosians-hamptons-home-leading-art-to-be-evacuated/">is reported to be worth $1 billion.</a><br /><br /><strong>Don't miss: <a href="../../what-wall-street-does-in-the-hamptons-2011-6">What Wall Street Really Does In The Hamptons &gt;</a></strong></p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-cohen-larry-gagosian-art-dealer-bestie-has-fire-at-east-hampton-home-2011-6#comments">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p> http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-cohen-will-ferrell-dasha-zhukova-larry-gagosian-tina-brown-art-basel-credit-suiss-dinner-2011-6Guess Which Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Had Dinner With Will Ferrell And Tina Brown Last Nighthttp://www.businessinsider.com/steve-cohen-will-ferrell-dasha-zhukova-larry-gagosian-tina-brown-art-basel-credit-suiss-dinner-2011-6
